Ah, a nostalgic Sportster!

By the way, we took this in for inspection back in August. The nicer you are, the longer you wait…
Things are progressing steadily now (*’\u25bd’) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, we’ll do a caliper overhaul.

Genuine or aftermarket? People who bought recently are mostly in a tough spot.
It’s a difficult position for both dealers and users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These kinds of kits are sold in the home market.
I guess it’s appreciated? Or maybe it’s just how it should be… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s better to assemble Brembo calipers with the included grease.
With this grease, I think it’s more precise? And you can recover from mistakes… (from experience)

Always replace the O-rings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s good to always inspect both old and new parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first cleaning is done, we warm it up and let it dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then it’s air blowing and cotton swabs\u2014tedious but necessary work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it’s clean, let’s assemble it~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And that’s it, all done!
Using tri-chromium black bolts gives it that recent original look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Brembo and similar brands, using a convex-to-convex union eliminates the need for a gasket.
It’s not widely known, I think… what do you think?
Garuda <\/a>or Rears <\/a>are about the only places you can get them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If we don’t need to use a gasket, that’s more efficient.
To be continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
